Could it be you need trainers for running😊

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on, pacing, minimising impact, hydration, stretching after every run and knee strengthening exercises, all of which will help.
Enjoy your journey.
I'd recommend a trip to a specialist running shop for gait analysis. They will video you as you run on a treadmill and then suggest the correct type of running shoe (neutral or supportive) to suit you. It is well worth investing in to help you to run pain free.
